The Alaska State Legislature has passed a resolution urging various state and local agencies, including the Governor and the Department of Natural Resources, to enhance preparedness for the 2025 wildfire season. This resolution highlights the increasing frequency and severity of wildfires due to climate change, particularly in high-risk areas such as Anchorage, Fairbanks, and Kenai. It emphasizes the need for comprehensive interagency wildfire response plans, improved firefighting resources, and community engagement in wildfire education and evacuation preparedness. The resolution also calls for the evaluation and removal of hazardous fuel sources, as well as the repair of roads to facilitate emergency response.

Additionally, the resolution encourages the implementation of advanced fire detection technology and the establishment of reliable emergency notification systems. It seeks to bolster local firefighting capabilities by stationing resources near high-risk areas and ensuring access to water sources for firefighting operations. The Alaska Legislature also urges federal representatives to advocate for increased funding and support for wildfire prevention and mitigation efforts. Copies of the resolution will be sent to key officials, including the Governor and various mayors across the state, to ensure widespread awareness and action on these critical issues.
